Who gives a $hit if they're rated highly. If anything this is a GOOD thing for fans of UC. Here is a golden opportunity to knock off a potentially highly ranked squad. Which other team on our schedule affords such a grand opportunity. Additionally it's great to have high profile teams in one's league. Again, how is this a bad thing for?!?

I would love to see them ranked that highly (and even #1) by the time we get to them.

Totally agree. I was thrilled watching them beat Florida last year. Hopefully that game is GIGANTIC at the end of the season.

Seems like a lot of jealousy that they did what we couldn't, won a BCS bowl game, kept their coach, moved to a better conference and have all the funding in the world.

It is all jealousy, rationalized as hatred for ESPN. That is what makes it so funny.

How can we be jealous about the fact that ESPN is completely ignorant about all things Big East football? This isn't anything new for this season. It's been going on for years. Laugh all you want; in the end, the joke's on you as a UC fan.

I don't think we'll get beat but there are a couple teams on our schedule that COULD upset us, but even with Teddy out we still have so many playmakers on offense. People seem to forget we played most of last season with a sophomore heavy roster and lost a bunch of starters early in the year, including two on the DL. The game against Florida was the only game where we had most of them back, and even then we still missed our top WR and RB from 2011. 18 starters will be back for 2013 and we've got some dynamite transfers that will be eligible to play. We played 12 games without a true power running back or fullback too which killed us on 3rd and 4th and short situations, and in the bowl game we interchanged a TE and DE who proved to be very effective.

If we do start that high and we run the table I doubt they can shut Louisville out of the title game.

You would be screwed if that happened. If UC started Kay day 1 last season UC is 11-1 or 12-0.

But you didn't. Even with Kay you guys needed all kinds of luck just to beat a 6-7 Duke team, and couldn't move the ball against a bad Rutgers team.

Nice try, we had no coaching staff for the bowl game and still scored over 40 points. Rutgers had 7 players drafted, more that any BIG team. You lost to UConn and Syracuse last year, needed OT to beat UC.

If Teddy gets hurt Ville is a 6-6 team.

I don't understand this logic. "You guys only beat us by a field goal in OT so next year we're going to destroy you". You do realize how many starters we've got returning? You do realize you guys lose a lot from the defense Teddy torched last year? You do realize you've got an entirely new coaching staff coming in?

Yes we lost to Syracuse and UConn. You guys lost to Toledo, Rutgers, and Louisville. Nobody's claiming we were invincible last season. We weren't going 13-0. Someone was going to beat us, and even if we had gone undefeated the result would've been the exact same, a BCS bowl against Florida.

Where in this thread did you read that? I've not seen anywhere in this thread that anyone said UC would destroy Louisville.

after reading this entire thread, the only conclusion i can come to is, louisville sucks!

This year's game should be the most-anticipated edition of the Keg, ever. I am confident we will see two ranked teams coming in.

UofL will be 10-2 range...losses could be to UC or RU
